Not sure just yet except job one has to be to stop the slide of our culture toward Gomorrah. I am also thinking we need candidates that can articulate and be credible about our social beliefs. What we cannot do is try to be half a loaf on these issues as our advisors on the left tell us we must. That is certain electoral disaster ala all our failed moderate candidates. If we are going to be portrayed as extreme no matter how squishy the candidate is we might as well have a candidate that can make an articulate, forceful and compelling argument.

I suspect now that the left's maniacal desire to destroy someone like Herman Cain as a viable primary candidate had as much to do with his ability to connect with African Americans on their social aspirations as well as their fixation on race. That he would also articulate an attractive economic vision would have been icing on the cake.

It also tells me that nominating moderates for national office is a huge mistake and that is exactly why those on the left are so graciously advising us to do so. They realize that we will get the worst of all worlds with these kinds of candidates. They will be demonized as extreme by the Dems and the media (a redundant term I know) and will be unable to convincingly articulate a vision of these social issues that makes them attractive because in fact they pretty much believe what the Democrats believe. Again, instead of offering them a real difference on the issues that matter and articulating the rationale for the beliefs they simply come off as Dem-lite. That is not a winning combination.
